Been there, read that. Rather funny though. And it's good the co-authors have the humility to make fools of their characters once in a while.:)

I don?t know if I?m some kind of geek separatist or what, but it really bothers me to see videogames and gamer culture on MTV.

Oh how right that is.

While I enjoy Penny-Arcade, the newer ones havn't been all that good.

Ok, for those that missed it, find the article, 'Perhaps Best Unsaid'
Fri, January 02 2004 - 6:00 AM by: Tycho.   I did not want to copy and past the article.

Find it and read it.

Penny Arcade get's a + in my book just for the simple things, like having an award category, "Game that Tycho WILL beat you at".  Or the cardboard tube samurai.  All good.  They do seem to be getting a little worse as time goes on.  (<-Is a no-baka, and hasn't read all the way to the present day yet...)

I made a cardboard tube samuri prestige class for Dungeons and Dragons 3.0 and 3.5

As my best friend would say, "w00t".  The whole Anti-Tycho at the end was a nifty addition, too.  Come to think of it, the black Tycho had a cooler outfit.  Why do the badguys always have the cool outfits???

If you want, I can hook you up with a copy. It's floating around the net in a few places.

And in an :offtopic note,  

[01:23am] <@Phoenix> I like this MaxAstro guy already.

:offtopic: Wow.  I'm honored...  *thinks for a long time*  No idea what else to say...

Anyway, on topic, that would be cool.  I rarely play AD&D much, myself, though.  I usually prefer WoD or GURPS.  Now if I could remake the Cardboard Tube Samurai for one of those... *grins evilly*  Even so, it would be a cool thing to have, just for niftyness sake.

I'll dig it up and post it on the boards.

In fact, I might have done that once before. I'll search real fast.

Thanks!  Very cool.  As a side note, though, many of the links are abbreviated, and so give broken links when clicked on.  Would add better understanding for readers if you fixed the links.
